Election Day!!

Election Day was awesome. This was my first time being able to vote, as I'm sure this was the first time for many of you guys as well. I turned the TV on for some news and looked at CNN as the primary news. Most of the people that I talked to got their news from mainstream news sites and television, there wasn't really anyone who looked for this information on indie sites. One person particularly was looking at one of those government sites that had information about all of the amendments that were on the ballot. I don't remember exactly what site it was but I looked at it too because it was helpful in regard to what the amendments really were.

I know that a lot of people voted early and said that they preferred it that way just in case there were long lines and most people had work. People also said it was simply convenient to vote earlier. I voted at a high school near my house with a friend. Wooo!

Then, later that night we were watching the special with John Stewart and Steven Colbert, and I think that John Stewart said something like, as of 11 o'clock eastern time, Barack Obama has been elected president. I turned to CNN right away (just to make sure) and saw that Barack Obama was the new president! It was pretty cool to watch videos of people around the country be so excited. I hope this time, we can have a president that the majority of the country doens't hate and that legitimate change can start happening when Obama starts his term.
